My Dear 6ir,?I was elected high

of 1911. Wise County was the leading
county of the Progressive movement*
In Virginia. This county is one of Uie
count>s thav compose the Ninth Vir?

represented in Congress by Hon. C
Uascont Slemp> for several terms. Mr.
Sleiup is a candidate for re-election
this fall. He Is .State chairman of the
Republican party in Virginia. tie
called the convention that elected del?
egates to the Chicago convention early
last spring, ere the snow had gone,
lie was a delegate-at-large and the real
boss of the Virginia delegation to the
Chicago convention which nominated
Mr. T i.'i, and this delegation was really
a packed affair, as you know, you hav?
ing contested the delegation. It we
had a fair deal I believe the Virginia'
delegation would have been for you.
Hon. Walter Graham, of Graham. Va?
ts a candidate for Congress in this d-s
[ trict on the Progressive ticket.
"Many of your followers are not
supporting blfla, but are supporting Mr.
Slcmp. and Mr. Slemp and some of these
are saying; he is as good a Progressive
as you arc. notwithstanding he is for
Mr. Taft. They say you do not indorse .
Mr. Graham's camildacy, but indorse
Mr. Slemp's. Mr. Graham was a del?
egate to the ."invention which noml
nated > ou for President on the Progre*- !
slve ticket. While 1 am not Intimately :
acquainted with Mr. Graham. I under- ,
stand that he 'is an honorable, up-;
right gentleman, and is a Progressive.
He is making a campaisn of the dis- :
trict. In view of tbeae facts. I want'
to ask you to wire me fu,iy at once, !
and also writs me which you Indorse.
Mr. Graham or Mr. SI cm p. K egret ting

Impossible far him to answer corre- j
